On a holiday weekend in which, as of Saturday, 35 people had been shot in the city of Chicago — four of whom have died — a Fox News panel discussion over Black Lives Matter protests in Chicago grew white hot.

Protesters gathered Friday in downtown Chicago to disrupt shopping at the city’s major department stores.

“I want everybody to think about this number because this is an important number: Forty-seven percent is the representation of black people between the ages of 20-24 years old. Those folks are largely unemployed,” he said.

Instead of going its own way, he said, Black Lives Matter should be saying, “Hey, let’s bring all people to the table.”

“Well, you’re getting back to the root issue, which is that all lives matter, not just black lives matter. We should bring everyone into this equation,” Reagan said.

However, this was not what Stewart Acuff, a former organizing director for the AFL-CIO, wanted to hear. He sought to focus the discussion about racial and policing issues.

Acuff said there was a “specific need” for Black Lives Matter and a “specific need” to protest police brutality.
